He unleashed a sword stroke towards the sandstorm behind him, this stroke contained his strongest âVoid-Breaking Sword Intentâ.
The Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation slashed at a peculiar spot in the sandstorm, precisely the formation node of the sandstorm.
Li Yuanba didnât know the consequence of this slash, but it was already the best option he could consider at the moment.
The Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation emitted a light hum as it slashed at the swirling golden sand.
A strange thing happened, even before the âVoid-Breaking Sword Intentâ could damage the sandstorm, just the impact of the Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation at this point of the sandstorm caused it to suddenly come to a halt.
It stayed still for less than a breath; then, all the sand suspended in the air simultaneously began to fall.
Subsequently, a vast amount of âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill information entered his mind, which was also received by the main body, Li Shiming.
A âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill rune appeared within the rune short sword in Li Yuanbaâs Nascent Soul, as well as within the rune short sword in Li Shimingâs Gold Thunder Nascent Soul.
Li Yuanba realized that he had successfully passed the inheritance trial of âSanmei Divine Windâ and obtained the inheritance.
However, he didnât know how he passed, nor did he understand what the inheritance trial of âSanmei Divine Windâ tested.
In fact, the inheritance trial of the âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill tested the cultivatorâs subtle perception of gold element.
Among the countless golden sands in the sandstorm, each grain possessed immense power, and together, their destructive power was unimaginable.
Such a powerful sandstorm was not something a Nascent Soul cultivator could withstand; even during the trial, the sandstorm had the blessing of the rules inside the Sword Cave Heaven.
It was precisely this blessing that made Li Yuanba unable to open up a distance with the sandstorm with âA Step Across the Worldâ, instead being quickly caught up.
This sandstorm was not to be resisted by force but required finding a weak point within it, which needed a cultivator to have an extraordinary perception of gold element energy.
This extraordinary perception of gold element energy is rare even among sword cultivators, and it is an instinct impossible to replicate.
Therefore, the âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill is one of the hardest to inherit, and at least for now, no sword cultivator in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion has obtained the âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill inheritance.
It was also because Li Yuanba performed so well and passed the trial so excellently that the Trial Space awarded him this supreme gold element inheritance.
While Li Yuanba was still comprehending the âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill, he was directly moved out of the Trial Space by the trialâs artifact spirit.
Before he even landed, he was brought back to his own cave by Sword Elder using a method.
"Yuan Ba, it seems youâve gained quite a bit!" Sword Elder looked at Li Yuanba with a peculiar expression.
Strands of golden sand were emerging from Li Yuanbaâs body, swirling around him.
Due to the minimal amount, it was impossible to see the sandstorm-like flying sand he encountered during the âSanmei Divine Windâ inheritance trial.
Sword Elder recognized what this was, which is why he was so surprised.
âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill, it is a terrifyingly powerful attack-type divine skill.
The most fearsome aspect of the âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill is that it does not only target the body but also attacks the soul and spirit; if âSanmei Divine Windâ sweeps over the divine sense, the divine sense will be obliterated.
Attack-type divine skills are the most fearsome among divine skills.
Like the âNanming Leaving Fireâ divine skill, just because Li Shiming hasnât practiced any fire-based cultivation method, the full power of âNanming Leaving Fireâ cannot be unleashed.
With the power of the âNanming Leaving Fireâ divine skill, even if the enemyâs strength is a notch higher than Li Shimingâs, they would still face considerable trouble if âNanming Leaving Fireâ got close.
Of course, the âNanming Leaving Fireâ divine skill falls short of its potential with Li Shiming; he has stronger attack methods, so âNanming Leaving Fireâ is reduced to the flame used in artifact refining and alchemy.
Although Li Yuanba received the âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill, it doesnât greatly impact his strength in the short term, but as âSanmei Divine Windâ grows stronger, his attack methods will become increasingly diverse.
"Iâve acquired the âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill, just havenât mastered it yet!" Li Yuanba confessed to Sword Elder without reservation.
"The âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill indeed has some similarities with your âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ; try using them together, and you might enhance the power significantly!" Sword Elder advised with a smile.
Li Yuanba then realized that the âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill was likely intentionally chosen by the trialâs artifact spirit, because he was using the âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ treasure at that time.
Only someone at Sword Elderâs level could discern the connection between âSanmei Divine Windâ and âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ.
"Thank you for your guidance, Sword Elder!" Li Yuanba gratefully bowed.
Sword Elderâs guidance saved him from many detours.
"Cultivate well; your current state doesnât quite match your reputation!" Sword Elder waved off the courtesy and instructed.
After speaking, Sword Elderâs figure vanished, having left Li Yuanbaâs cave.
Li Yuanba shook his head and returned to his Sword Room.
He took out âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ, letting it absorb the energy of Sword Cave Heaven to recover more quickly.
This time, he had exhausted all ten thousand energy-converted flying swords of âTen Thousand Sword Peakâ; it needed to reform the energy-converted flying swords.
Li Yuanba didnât embark on realizing the âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill; he left this task to his main body, Li Shiming.
For Li Shiming, comprehending the âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill was merely giving one of his brains something to do, and wouldnât interfere with his other matters.
However, if Li Yuanba were to comprehend the âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill himself, he wouldnât be able to do anything else.
The most important thing for Li Yuanba right now is not to comprehend the âSanmei Divine Windâ divine skill, but to enhance his cultivation level.
Having obtained such cultivation treasures like âSword Transformation Spirit Liquidâ, he needed to go into seclusion for cultivation.
He cast a communication technique to Tang Xue Ning, notifying her that he would be going into seclusion for a while.
Tang Xue Ning was his companion, they had undertaken several missions together, and their cooperation was very successful.
If he didnât inform Tang Xue Ning of his seclusion, and she took on some dangerous task while he couldnât help, it would put Tang Xue Ning at risk.
Tang Xue Ning replied with merely a âgot itâ, without asking further.
Li Yuanba opened the Spiritual Pot, and a pure sword intent aura surged out of it, with the aura containing spiritual energy fluctuations.
He was afraid that leaving the Spiritual Pot open too long would cause the âSword Transformation Spirit Liquidâ within it to lose its spiritual essence.
So he poured out a drop of âSword Transformation Spirit Liquidâ into his mouth and resealed the Spiritual Pot.
With a drop of âSword Transformation Spirit Liquidâ entering his body, he felt as if a flying sword had entered within him.
That flying sword did not hurt him; it was incredibly gentle.
He started cultivating the âSky-Surging Sword Intent Techniqueâ, and with the help of a drop of âSword Transformation Spirit Liquidâ, his cultivation of the âSky-Surging Sword Intent Techniqueâ accelerated rapidly.
Once he absorbed and converted this drop of âSword Transformation Spirit Liquidâ, it became nourishment for the âSky-Surging Sword Intent Techniqueâ.
The cultivation of the âSky-Surging Sword Intent Techniqueâ showed a rapid increase with the help of this drop of âSword Transformation Spirit Liquidâ.
Even though a single drop of âSword Transformation Spirit Liquidâ significantly boosts his cultivation, itâs important not to consume it consecutively. Even though âSword Transformation Spirit Liquidâ is gentle, consuming it requires a seven-day rest period between doses to avoid damaging the body.
Now he finally understood that besides hard cultivation, there are many special resources that can rapidly enhance cultivation.
Finally, he realized, besides arduous cultivation, there are many special resources that can rapidly boost oneâs cultivation level.
While the main body Li Shiming has other pursuits, comprehending the âSanmei Divine Windâ is just something to keep his brain occupied without hindering anything else.
Li Yuanba currently has the chance to obtain it due to this opportunity.
